Holding Space in Hard Times
Thank you to all of the SPTers who joined us last week for our Holding Space in Hard Times online gathering!
It was an hour of honesty, support, and permission to embrace the messy and show up as we are. Burnout, sadness, anger, fear, whatever we brought, we had a group of SPTers there to hold us in whatever needed to show up.
We hope you can join us for one of the other three remaining offerings this year!
-
May 6, 5pm-6pm Mountain Time (Denver)
-
August 5, 11am-12pm Mountain Time (Denver)
-
November 18, 5pm-6pm Mountain Time (Denver)
*Registration opens 3 weeks before each scheduled webinar.
